...postcard châteaux and quaint peasantry of Europe. But Ohio farmers on McCormick reapers did not fit into pretty landscapes as nicely as Normans driving oxcarts; few artists returned able to apply lessons learned abroad to the U.S. scene. One who did was Frederick Childe Hassam, a robust Bostonian who translated impressionism from French into pragmatic American...
